In Konoha, Naruto lies down

Often, before they could even exchange a few words, Ino would have to go back to work. Naruto didn't have any objections and simply enjoyed it.

"More than one, huh, this is a pair." Ino took out a communicator from her pocket and waved it in front of his eyes.

"This is a specially made model. It's a reward for all your running around lately."

"No buttons needed, just input chakra. However, once input, it cannot be changed. Also... this communicator can only reach me."

Personalized? Naruto felt that this reward was... a bit tasteless.

"That's fine. I need to contact you anyway," Naruto said with a smile, "Hey, Ino, can this be customized again?"

"What? Who else do you want to give it to?" Ino pouted and asked warily.

"You misunderstood. I plan to get a custom set for Choji as well. I think he'll love it. After all, they're such a loving couple, so Choji must really need it."

Hearing this, Ino narrowed her eyes and curved them into crescents again and spoke.

"Right."

……

"Sister-in-law, this thing is used like this, yes, input chakra... yes."

Choji's eyes glazed over as he watched Naruto enthusiastically instruct his wife on how to use the custom communicator. This bastard... he really does everything except human labor.

"Oh, is that so?"

Choji glanced at Ino who was huddled with his wife, and while Naruto was free, he pulled him over and asked in a low voice through gritted teeth.

"Are you sick, Uzumaki Naruto?"

Chapter 384 The two of them compromised with the wooden man, and the first battle was against the cook. The caged bird’s secret could no longer be hidden.

Looking at Choji whose fat face was twisted into a ball, Naruto smiled, patted his shoulder and said.

"Ino said she had a specially customized communicator. How could I forget you about such a good thing? We are brothers who have shared joys and sorrows together!"

There are a thousand MMPs that Shikamaru wants to say in his heart, but he doesn't know where to start.

.......

As time passed, the time for Tsunade's departure drew nearer. The people of the village were busy preparing for the Sixth Hokage to take office. The days were busy yet peaceful.

In the bamboo forest.

"Hey, how many people are there?" Naruto suddenly looked up and asked Neji.

In the dense bamboo forest, Neji sat aside, watching the branch family members untie the caged birds and leave. Listening to Naruto's words, he couldn't help but hesitate.

He seemed to be going further and further down the path of going against his original intention, and there was no way back.

"Twelve," he said.

"That's almost it, twelve, just one more group will be enough." Naruto stood up and stretched his muscles, and the fragmented golden sunlight shone on him through the bamboo forest.

"Why do you have such a gloomy expression?" Naruto asked in surprise, glancing at Neji again, "Look how happy their faces are. They're doing good things."

Neji said nothing, his expression complicated.

"Alright, alright, if you want to achieve great things, don't be bothered by small details." Naruto pushed him, "Ningji, you don't want Hinata to remain unchanged, do you?"

"Ask yourself, would those clan elders take the initiative to free themselves from the cage? Accustomed to a life of ease and comfort, who would want to descend from the clouds into the mundane?"

Hearing this, Neji was finally touched. He looked up at the dense bamboo forest and sighed.

"I know, I'm just hesitant. How will I face Lord Hiashi when that day comes? And I have a feeling that day will come soon."

"What's there to hesitate about? It's just the position of a family head." Naruto persuaded, "Even if you do nothing, Hinata Hiashi can't change anything."

"It's just dragging it out, pretending to be nice to the other main families. Neji, success or failure is a matter of debate. Your thoughts must be clear and your convictions must be firm."

"Yeah." Neji was silent.

Naruto's words were rough, but his point was not. He knew Naruto's character very well. From the first time he teamed up with Naruto, when that guy was able to use ruthless tactics to knock out the client, he knew that this guy was a sinister person.

As long as it is something he wants to do, he is not bound by any rules. There is nothing he dare not do as long as it does not harm others.

Neji would be bound by morality, condemned by his conscience, and even bound by family ties. But Naruto obviously has none of these three, and even his moral integrity is shattered to pieces.

From the fact that he was clearly eating from the bowl but still looking at the pot, you can tell that this person...is a complicated person.

In fact, Naruto is a little angry at Neji for not fighting for him. If he also had a pair of Byakugan, things would not be so complicated. Unfortunately, he is not a member of the Hyuga clan, so he can't perform such a trick.

As for Neji, he is a serious man and can't be a bit naughty at all.

Oh, right, he wasn't just looking at what was in the bowl while eating what was in the pot. How could he possibly do something so half-hearted? He was holding the pot in his hand!

Those who are capable should work harder. What's wrong with eating bigger meals and drinking larger bowls?

at the same time.

In the Hokage Building, Tsunade was looking at a document.

The results of Danzo's investigation had been delayed, and would likely not be processed until after the Sixth Daemon Kakashi took over. After all, the two advisors were already in semi-retirement.

Shizune walked in, and seeing the empty water glass on the table, she habitually filled it up for Tsunade. She looked down and saw Tsunade's file, and was stunned.

"Lady Tsunade, is Naruto causing trouble again?"

"No, it's because he's too honest that I think it's abnormal. This is unlike him." Tsunade put down the information and said, "I know him too well. He will die if he doesn't make trouble."

"Hasn't he been keeping an eye on the Hyuga clan recently?" Shizune said. She was one of the people who knew about it.

"The Hyuga clan...it would be nice if he really was that idle." Tsunade muttered to herself, "Danzo has already been like this, why hasn't he taken revenge yet?"

"Will they forget their grudges just by laughing? That's unlike him. I'm a little worried that he might be doing something far beyond my expectations."

Tsunade was about to leave, so she wasn't worried about Naruto causing trouble in his final days. At the very least, she could still help him out a bit.

If he waited until she left before taking action, then... this possibility could not be ruled out. After all, after the last conversation, Naruto obviously didn't come here as often.

Although he wasn't very diligent before, he would come occasionally, whether he was busy or not. Now he comes frequently when he is busy, but is rarely seen when he is not.

Tsunade wasn't a little girl, so she naturally didn't think Naruto was just throwing a tantrum. This guy had everything, except a temper. Now that he was so quiet, he obviously had a plan.

What is he waiting for? Love?

......

"Naruto is such a loser. He was beaten back by a stupid dog. He shouldn't be so careful, right?" Naruto was complaining madly and muttering to himself in the air.

Before Black Sakura went into hibernation, he could still speak his mind to her. But now, that was no longer the case, as that pink creature had taken over his body.

What kind of logic is this? Just because someone changes their personality, they turn their backs on you. Fortunately, I am a good person and don't bother with Fenying. If it were someone else, I'd probably do something like an earthquake.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was a good person who followed the rules and held to principles. He didn't have any leverage to threaten Fenying with, making petty remarks like "You don't want to... do you?"

Back home, he leaned back on the sofa, figuring the two Yumuren had figured it out. His heart sank, and his consciousness entered the sealed space.

The next second, Naruto asked before he even opened his eyes.

"How do you think about it?"

The two wooden figures turned their heads to look at him, paused for a second, and continued to change their clothes.

"Uh... your clothes are really big." Naruto complimented for a second, then returned to normal. "That's enough time for you to think it over, right?"

"Well, I've thought it over." The two wooden men looked at him calmly, "I promise you, I have no other choice."

"Huh? How can there be no choice when you say that?" Naruto said in a pretentious manner, pointing to the endless end at the back of the sealed space.

"I've already told you to leave. You can try to see if you can get out of this space. It's quite big here."

"Heh." The two wooden men sneered.

Naruto didn't mind, but if the two Yukitos didn't complain at all, he would be terrified. For him, this was the most terrifying thing.

Having complaints is good, it proves there's still room for bribery. Kumogakure is her hometown, but it's a gang-ridden area, so she's taking away her hometown feelings.

It is much easier to pass through a place where whoever has the bigger fist has the final say than a place like Konoha where hypocrisy and light coexist.

"I still say the same thing, there is no construction without destruction." Naruto looked at her, "Kumogakure has offended me, I remember it clearly now. Now I need it, and Kumogakure must establish a new order."

"Do you understand what I mean? I have been avoiding saying harsh words to you before, just because I don't want you to cause any unpleasantness before you are tied to the same rope with me."

"What difference does it make? I will agree to you anyway. After all, there is no other way out." The two Yumu people understood what Naruto meant and stopped putting on airs.

She wasn't the type to be sentimental; this was a decision she'd made after careful consideration. One couldn't be a whore and then pretend to be a saint. Since she was planning to go into Green Cloud Hiding, she'd stick with it until the end.

"It's different. Now you are my subordinate, so I can say something in advance." Naruto said expressionlessly, "I am a person who is very principled. I will do whatever I want to do, no matter how roundabout it."

"I can threaten you, and I can threaten others. If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who are willing to do it. No matter what, I'm determined to take over Kumogakure."

"Do you understand it?"

The two Yumujin were slightly startled, their hearts skipping a beat. One was horrified at how Yunyin had offended this man, while the other was glad to have sided with evil.

In her opinion, Naruto was the embodiment of evil. He boasted about his reputation, but used all sorts of tricks behind the scenes. Compared to his schemes and tricks, the guys in Kumogakure were just a bunch of muscled brothers.

The most important thing is that the other party is also a Jinchūriki, has no father or mother, and has a low moral standard, which is almost equivalent to having no weaknesses. Unless he is obsessed with a woman and lives a life of drunkenness and debauchery.

"I understand." She nodded and already knew her own fate. She would probably be thrown into a place for training, which was similar to purgatory.

"I understand. Then I'll let you out." Naruto said.

"Ok?"

"What's wrong? Have you developed feelings for her after living here?" Naruto looked at her with some confusion.

"No, it's just... shouldn't I go practice somewhere?" she asked.

"Oh, that, you don't need to." Naruto waved his hand and said, "They are too weak, they are of no use to me, I can only let them practice first."

"As for you... you're already strong enough, and it's hard for me to find a suitable opponent for you. Stop ruining my training ground and go out and do something practical."

Upon hearing this, the two wooden figures' eyelids twitched slightly. What was this about getting her to do something practical? It meant letting her cause trouble for the Hidden Cloud Village.

But she had obviously overestimated the bottom line of a certain black-hearted boss. Naruto glanced at her and thought she understood. So he didn't bother to hide it and spoke.

"Do me a favor and keep it quiet."

kitchen.

The faces of the two wooden people who were frying food in front of the stove were burned red by the high temperature of the flames. She was gritting her teeth and enduring the endless humiliation, but she could not say a word.

This damn Nine-Tails Jinchuriki actually asked her to cook. He said that they were short-handed recently and he wanted to go home and have a hot meal.

damn thing!

Even if she was asked to carry out assassination or top-secret missions, the first thing she did after regaining her freedom was to work as a cook for her boss. How hateful!

Naruto lay on the sofa, listening to the noises coming from the kitchen, and couldn't help but look contented.

Xiaoying went home. He had said before that he would give her time to think about it and that she would pretend to be more serious. In reality, she had no choice. She couldn't go to work or interact with others.

The only ones she could contact were her parents, who she rarely contacted, and Naruto, who knew the truth. If she didn't accept the reconciliation, she would lose the memories of those six years.

Give the little girl some time to accept her memory and become a big girl. Memory should not affect her personality, but through various muscle memory, she can quickly master some skills.

In the huge house, only the two Yukitos and Naruto were left. He hadn't left the village yet, so he naturally wouldn't let the two Yukitos go alone.

Apartment 404, Konoha Street, Naruto is unwavering, and the next sentence cannot be said.

The residents have changed from Sakura to two Yukitos, and the experience has changed again. Yukitos have a deeper life than Sakura, and it is very pleasing to watch.

But whether it was Pink Sakura, Hydrangea, Kurama Yakumo, or the two Yukitos, he didn't mess around. Although he was a womanizer, he wasn't so stunted by the sight of a woman that he could still distinguish right from wrong.

He can openly threaten his subordinates to work for him, but he will not use them as tools. A tool can have no rest time and no benefits, but it cannot be without dignity.

For him, there are only two types of tools: those who work tirelessly and those who work tirelessly and give back. In this kind of situation, it is better to go both ways, aiming to gain the value of one's own life.

"Is the food ready?" Naruto reached out and took the intimate paradise and continued to look at it, shouting.

"It's almost done, it's almost done." The two wooden men wiped the sweat from their foreheads. They didn't expect that the first battle of their betrayal, which had brought shame to their reputation, would be in the kitchen.

"This man really deserves to die!" she muttered softly.

"what did you just say?"

"I told you to cook next time. I don't want to do this." The two of them took the dishes out of the pot with the help of wooden figures, and then took off the aprons around their necks.

"Isn't that good? I can't do it either. What you want to do with me...are you not afraid of vomiting?" Naruto was a little embarrassed. "This is all training. Just bear with it for a while."

The two Yumu people were in a complicated mood and didn't know how to refuse for a moment. In the end, they lowered their proud heads and nodded.

"Ah."
